It's nice to see that he's going to keep balling over the lockout, and who knows, maybe he'll gain some new perspective over there :roll:

I hope he improves his shooting since its Euro :lol: but anyways this guy would be beastly in the paint, to bad we're not using him correctly with Pau/Bynum and sometimes Kobe in there just no room. IF anyone recalls the king/spurs series when Kings had Bonzi Wells and Artest, they were beasting almost everybody the spurs threw at them and almost beat them.

I don't know about using him in the paint. He was very good in his prime but now he just looks totally clumsy to be isolated on offense. I fear a turnover/offensive foul coming at any instant he tries to do something with the ball.

He's too mechanical. And not in the good Tim Duncan way. He looks like some robot in their with the way he throws his body around and his strange footwork. It's painful to watch. He gets away with those one-handed grapples though. And usually gets a foul called in his favor despite him holding them down :lol:

I think he has a very strange physique and when combined with his mental hyperactivity he is just uncoordinated and over eager most of the time.

I just wish he would have made that dunk in game 4 vs Dallas. We were so coming back.

The L.A. Times is reporting Ron Artest will make up to $2,500 a MONTH in England. Last season the Lakers paid him $2,623.37 a MINUTE

He also got an acting gig and rap concerts there. Signing with them was just a stay fit bonus,as his brand will be making money from multiple avenues there

The league here is a joke. What's even funnier is that the Chester Jets' homecourt, the Northgate Arena is considered one of the most grim venues in a league which is full or crappy venues.

Here's Ron's new homecourt.. and team..
